PRINCE GEORGE — A Prince George man is facing multiple charges after a motel room was broken into last week.

Prince George RCMP Cpl. Craig Douglass says just after 2 a.m. last Friday (Jan.11), Mounties responded to a complaint of a break and enter at a motel on the 1600 block of Central Street.

“Initial indications were that two males wearing masks had forcibly entered a room, and one was believed to have a firearm,” he says. “Upon arrival of police shortly after, officers observed the two male suspects fleeing the area in a white pickup. Attempts to pull over the vehicle were unsuccessful.”

A short time later, Douglass says the suspect vehicle was located in the snow near the intersection of Domano Boulevard and Malaspina Avenue by a snow removal contractor who said that one of the occupants had fired shots.

He says police attended and found the vehicle although the occupants were nowhere to be seen.
